Yes, this is obviously true, Axil. The question is, How is the neutron
formed? It can not be formed outside of the nucleus as a free neutron
because this takes energy that is not available. This means it must be
formed within the nucleus, but how? That is what my theory attempts to
answer. Can you answer this question clearly and without using word
salad?

A laptop nowadays draws 50 to 100 W. I assume future ones will draw

While I'm sympathetic with the direction of these predictions, they
assume that high power densities can be obtained without the need
for thick radiation shielding.
Yes! They sure do assume that. So far, there has been practically no
evidence that cold fusion produces dangerous radiation. It may
produce tritium, but overall I expect it will probably produce less
nuclear waste than today's coal fired plants. Granted, coal put
radioactive garbage mainly in places close to the plants, which are
located in poor, rural districts. Whereas a cold fusion engine may
leak tritium in your house.
Tritium can be contained. It is contained in tritium-powered "exit"
signs.
